The Times publishes conversation with Usain Bolt in full in which he calls
Glasgow Games "a bit sh*t"

Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt has said it was "nonsense" that he had called the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow "a bit s***".

He is said to have made the comments to a reporter from The Times, which on Thursday published the conversation in full.

Angus Macleod, the newspaper's Scottish editor, said he stood by the story "100 per cent".

Six-time Olympic champion Bolt denied on Wednesday that he had made the comments, responding on his Twitter feed by saying: "I'm waking up to this nonsense..journalist please don't create lies to make headlines."

Mike Hooper, chief executive of the Commonwealth Games Federation, said he accepted Bolt's version of events.
